Happy Friday!!! Yesterday turned out to be a pain in the ass day at work. I still can't believe the plant manager lets some of guys get away with the **** they do. I was so tempted to just leave yesterday. Someone keeps messing up the ash trailers which in turn messes up my reports. I took an hour and walked around the plant looking at the trailers to see which ones were properly numbered and which ones weren't.
When I got back in the plant I let the PM know of all the slip hazards I found. Whoever did or should I say didn't do any sanding/salting left high traffic area covered with ice. He called the SS over the radio to tell him what I found and to get people out there to fix the areas and of course some of guys came through the office to give me **** because they had to go outside and actually work. I was so aggravated that I told them to **** off and if they did their job right the first time they wouldn't be going back out in the cold.
QOTD: If you were given 10 Million dollars with the stipulation that you had to live on a cruise ship for the rest of your life and only be allowed two weeks a year on land would you do it? As much as I love boating I wouldn't do it. There isn't enough money in the world for me to have to deal with people on a cruise every day. I like my animals and my gardening, people not so much.

Have you considered opening a same as cash credit card and putting your current credit card balances on that. I have seen some with Tmonths of interest free payments. You might be able to get your monthly expenses down with no interest terms.

Hey gang. We're still in our cold snap, but it's supposed to warm up a little over the weekend. I'm ready. It will be nice to have the snow off the solar panels too.
Food is on track. We ate lunch out for the first time in a while. JB had a couple of doctor's appointments, and we stopped on the way home.
Nothing else really going on here. I hope you are all well.
QOTD: diet soda. Diet Pepsi or Diet Coke. I have no allegiance -- whatever is on sale.

QOTD- Water, but I think I'm dehydrated.
The blood tests at the Dr were all normal, so no idea why I have no appetite and am so exhausted. The Dr is supposed to review them probably today. I know I am depressed but it is situational depression. I hate my job and want to retire but I can't afford to. I am working on it though. I'm trying to attack my credit card bills to eliminate them, but it's probably going to take me about 20 months.
It's cold here but the sun has been shining so that is a plus. It was 22 when I got up, it's 31.5 now but the clouds are coming in.
I did order sushi last night, so I ate more than I have in a while. I didn't weigh myself this morning, but I know I'm down about 16.5lbs since November. Too bad it isn't always this easy to lose weight. When I gained I had to buy new jeans and now they are baggy, so I may be able to fit in my old ones. I've been afraid to try, thinking that I may be deluding myself, but I need to give it a try.
I need to get back to work. I've been working on a pain of a job, and it's been a real struggle. I could have figured it out in the old system in about 5 minutes, but it took me all day yesterday. Now I need to finish drawing it up and get it out of my hands.
Have a great day everyone!

Good morning Jen and Menuers,
Eggs were $4.17 at Aldi yesterday. They were $2.97 a dozen in Costa Rica. This needs to stop. Today I will be paying $3.59 a gallon for gas. I hope change comes soon. I think I got a free day from mom duty today. Last night took mom to cards and they needed another player. I opted to play and drink PeanutButter whiskey instead of having dinner.
QOTD: Ig there were no ramifications I would drink bourbon old fashions every day all day. But if not I would stick with water. I love my coffee but my skin desires the water.
Accountability: Whiskey instead of dinner. Hell, it happens.

Good mornin everyone!
Going to be another chilly day here today. I'm over winter. This winter has kicked my ass. We're headed to Sam's this morning. We might run by the market Walmart to get something my mom forgot yesterday.
i'm getting a package of supplies today so I can make some stuff tonight! There are a few more coming this weekend and next week.i sold a bracelet to a fellow mailler who can't get the weave. That afforded me the chance to try a newish clasp. Aa.so to get a few supplies to make a bracelet for my niece and me. My bday is in February and hers is in April. I haven't made myself something in honestly years it seems.
QOTD: ice water...with chewable ice of course.
B: oatmeal and coffee...lots of coffee
L: I'm thinking soup,
D: undecided.
Good morning, everybody!
We enjoyed the fly tying class last night. We kind of inadvertently jumped right into an advanced class, but we learned a lot of skills that we can apply, going back to start at a more basic point. I will post a picture tomorrow. Next week, I will be in Orlando for work, but my son is going to go back on his own.
Today I am WFH. With the holiday on Monday, I ended up going in on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday of this week. I want to keep my reserved office space, so will do enough in person to hit that threshold. Mainly a couple of conference calls, Crossfit and a teleconference with our financial advisers this afternoon. My son usually makes lamb on Thursday because that is when the butcher gets its lamb chop shipment in .
It looks like the Chicago Med episode that was filmed outside my office will be on next week. its a crossover of all three (Med, Fire, and PD) and I can see the outside of my office building on the previews. I will have to watch when I return from Florida next weekend.
QOTD: Bai Water.
Breakfast: Bagel
Lunch: Italian sandwich
Dinner: lamb
Have a great day, all!
